The government_s vehicle maintenance personnel will be responsible for the disposition of removed materials. The Contractor will be responsible for transporting the removed materials near a storage site determined by the government, located in the compound area near the paint booth. The system to be installed must confine, and remove, over-spray and fumes from the area in which painting is done (paint booth).

The exhaust chamber should be coated with a corrosion preventative compound (painted). The contractor will provide all necessary assembly hardware.

It is the contractor's responsibility to install this system in accordance with current regulations. The contractor will perform installation of the dry filter system as a turn-key operation (turned over to the government in an operational status). Contractor will supply all necessary instructions, and parts books to allow the government to properly operate the system and make repairs once the warranty expires. Contractor will provide warranty (less replaceable filters) for one year from date of acceptance.
